Reflection

How often do we laughingly say, “….Out of the mouths of babes!” We usually say it when one of the junior members of our family has stated a glaring or embarrassing truth. To     children the truth is black and white, but the older we get the more we tend to complicate issues that really ought to be very  simple. Perhaps we want to dress up the truth with our own interpretations. Perhaps we want to disguise truths that make us feel  uncomfortable. Whatever the reasons, as we get older the truth is harder for us to recognise.
